There She Stands - Michael W. Smith

When the night seems to say

All hope is lost, gone away

But I know I’m not alone

By the light she stands

There she waves, faithful friend

Shimmering stars, westward wind

Show the way, carry me

To the place she stands

Just when you think it might be over

Just when you think the fight is gone

Someone will risk his life to raise her

There she stands

There she flies, clear blue skies

Reminds us with red of those that died

Washed in white by the brave

In their strength, she stands

When evil calls itself a martyr

When all your hopes come crashing down

Someone will pull her from the rubble

There she stands

We’ve seen her flying torn and tattered

We’ve seen her stand the test of time

And through it all the fools have fallen

There she stands

By the dawn’s, early light

And through the fight

She stands
